NURS 3515 CORRECT EXAMS QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔Construct Validity keywords: - ✔✔Complex
Includes many types of validity
Tests hypothesized relationships
✔✔What is the next step to take when an 'instrument has face validity?' - ✔✔Assess
CONTENT validity
✔✔Content Validity: - ✔✔Represents an item measuring a specific concept
✔✔Convergent Validity: - ✔✔Part of construct
Two seperate, but highly correlated tests
✔✔Criterion-Related Validity - ✔✔Includes BOTH concurrent + predictive validity
Connects the participant's performance with his or her actual behaviour
✔✔Factor Analysis: - ✔✔Groups large numbers of variables into smaller groups
Set of items measure the SAME underlying construct/dimension
✔✔Reliability: - ✔✔Consistency is a characteristic
Instruments (KEYWORD)
Two of more instruments that measure the same construct AND are administered to the
same participants
✔✔Internal Consistency/Homogeneity: - ✔✔items within the scale measure the same
concept
, 'The instrument is appropriate to measure a single concept'
✔✔Cronbach's Alpha Coefficient: - ✔✔Dichotomous
Simultaneously correlates the consistency of responses to all the items of a test
administered at ONE TIME
Estimates of homogeneity when instruments are scaled with ordinal responses.
Instrument uses a "Likert-type response scale"
✔✔Stability: - ✔✔The same results are obtained on repeated administration of the
instrument.
Instruments that produces the same result when it is administered to the same
participants under similar conditions on two or more occasions
Relates to instrument reliability
Test-retest reliability is specific to stability
✔✔Parallel Form: - ✔✔Same individuals are tested within a specific interval, but the
participants are given a different form of the test on the second testing.
Two instruments measuring the same construct.
✔✔Instrument Homogeneity is established with: - ✔✔Split-half reliability
✔✔Inter-rater Reliability Keywords: - ✔✔Observation between two raters
Consistency
✔✔Reliable instruments: - ✔✔can be used on more than one occasion to measure a set
of behaviours that ordinarily remains relatively constant
✔✔What measures test reliability specific to equivalence? - ✔✔Parallel/alternate form
Inter-rater reliability
✔✔Fittingness describes the experiences in a way that "rings (_)" - ✔✔True
KEYWORDS: Everyday reality, presented narrative
✔✔Fat Data: - ✔✔Describes all raw data collected in qualitative research
✔✔Qualitative computer softwares contribute to (_) of data. - ✔✔Management
